Chapter 400: His Highness And Wei Wei

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

At the crime scene in the Superior Compound.

A woman with long curly hair covering her petite face shook her head.

Her movements were strange, like a marionette that was being controlled by someone else.

The few remaining officers did not suspect anything. They had listened to the coroner and had presumed that the assailant was male.

Then, just as the wooden doors were shut, a sudden gust of wind lifted the woman’s long hair, revealing her sharp and petite face— What an expression she had, her eyes were voids of darkness, empty of any emotions, while the corners of her mouth had a hint of a smile in them. There was a strange eeriness about it that could not be put into words.

She was the next...

Someone died in the White Academy again!

Two people had died within a day, moreover, it was under the watch of the officers!

Similar to the previous victim, this corpse was only skin and bones, all the blood from the body had vanished.

Helian Wei Wei crouched down, she could still feel some warmth as her fingers brushed against the clothing on the victim.

This meant that the victim was murdered only moments ago...

“Your Highness.” A gentle voice sounded in her ears before Helian Wei Wei had gotten back up.

Helian Wei Wei turned to see Yun Biluo talking to Baili Jia Jue under a flowering tree, “The academy isn’t safe right now, it’s better for Your Highness to return to the Palace.”

Yun Biluo could not understand the reason why His Highness would return even though he had left the academy.

It was obvious that this place was not safe with all the murder cases. In addition, if he got injured, would his identity that was different from the others not give those who desire the throne an opportunity to snatch it from him?

At this distance, no one in the surrounding could hear a word they spoke.

Others could only see the sides of their faces.

“Seems like Sister Yun and His Highness are about to reconcile. I heard that they entered the Palace together today,” someone said in an envious tone.

“His Highness has always treated Sister Yun with more patience than anyone else, someone should be worried seeing how the position of the secondary consort would definitely belong to Sister Yun.”

Their voices were not loud, to begin with, but it seemed like they had meant it for Helian Wei Wei to listen.

But it irked them when Helian Wei Wei did not react one bit!

Furthermore, the faint smile she wore left them utterly discontented.

There would be nothing for them to say if a lady like Yun Biluo became the Third Princess Consort, but why it had to be that ugly woman!

Helian Wei Wei ignored those two.

Right now, her time was extremely pre— Wait a minute, what’s that?

Helian Wei Wei squatted down, her eyes locked on the victim’s arm.

Black spot!?

“What are you standing here for?” The military runners in charge of carrying the body away said in an unfriendly tone. They were irritable people, and it only worsened when they saw that a student had come forward to obstruct their path.

Helian Wei Wei stood up swiftly without saying a word.

The military runners continued forward as they muttered under their breath. It was unfortunate having one death after another and if this kept up, there would be no end to it. Following that, their peaceful days as servants would also be over because the Lord was bound to be furious!

Who could do such a cruel thing?! No one knew who the attacker could be.

According to the officers who were in charge of the autopsy, the second victim too had all her blood drained from her body for unknown reasons.

The officers knew absorbing other’s blood to enhance one’s martial Qi was the ultimate forbidden curse even though they were not skilled masters of martial Qi.

It was terrifying no matter who the killer was.

The runners shuddered simultaneously. They gave the body that was being lifted a quick glance before hurrying out of the Superior Compound.

As Helian Wei Wei averted her eyes from those two military runners, she noticed Yun Biluo looking at her with a look of pity on her face. “Miss Wei Wei, please help me persuade His Highness to return to the Palace.”

“I don’t have time for that.” Helian Wei Wei merely gave her a short and cold reply before walking past the two of them. She chuckled silently to herself, totally impressed by how thick-skinned Yun Biluo was.

Even after she had kept herself a distance away from them, she could still hear Yun Biluo gently clearing her voice, “Your Highness, I...”

Baili Jia Jue did not say anything, however, his expression was increasingly frosty, even his eyes were seething with iciness.

Yun Biluo wrapped a hand around her arm. She had said so much yet it could not compare to that woman who had simply walked past him.

After all, thanks to that woman, His Highness could understand her compassion better.

Yun Biluo lowered her gaze as her heart started to rejoice.

“Move aside.” Baili Jia Jue opened his mouth and uttered two words.

“What?” Yun Biluo widened her eyes in shock.

“I said, move aside.” Baili Jia Jue gave her a look of disinterest, though his random gestures appeared to be much more laid back and flamboyant compared to ordinary people.

His cold words completely froze Yun Biluo in place.

He had stopped just now not because he wanted to listen to what I have to say?

That means... it was so that he could watch Helian Wei Wei?

Making the guess, Yun Biluo bit her own lips hard as her shoulders begin to quiver. In the end, her eyes sunk into gloominess.

Looks like... it wasn’t enough.

At noon, just as Helian Wei Wei stepped into the Trading Compound with the intention of having a meal, the sounds of an uproar came from the main hall.

Some students entered, their eyes were bright, “There’s news that the people at the yamen had found some clues!”

What?!

Helian Wei Wei stopped and turned toward the student who had spoken.

“What kind of clues?” The others had huddled over, listening with curiosity.

“Calm... calm down, let me catch my breath,” The student who had run in inhaled deeply before he continued, “Bai Xinrui had gone to a place before returning to her room.”

“Where would she go to in the middle of the night?” A student asked, feeling puzzled.

Suddenly, Helian Wei Wei had a bad premonition.

“She went to Green Dragon Lake. Seems like the young master of the Hei family was there too, which means that the last person Bai Xinrui saw before she died was young Master Hei,” the student said in a mysterious manner.

“You mean that Young Master Hei is the murderer?” The hall erupted into a series of clamor.

“I don’t know if he was the murderer, but the magistrate had decided to take him away. It looks like he has mostly made up his mind that Young Master Hei is guilty.”

Upon hearing those words, Helian Wei Wei’s face darkened as she immediately turned to leave the Trading Compound. She went in the direction of the Inferior Compound.

Her only fear was that Heize would be made a scapegoat just so the magistrate could quickly settle the case.

The Hei family had a good grip on the business district of the Capital while being a wealthy household.

But this case was clearly being manipulated by someone from behind.

The power and influence of the Hei family might not be enough to thwart them.

Or else the magistrate would not have been brave enough to take Heize away.

In this different world, she had a few loved ones.

Heize had always helped and protected her in the academy.

Not to mention that if it was not for her who had let him go and take a look at the Green Dragon Lake, he would not have been mistaken as a suspect and being taken away.

She could not wait any longer!

Bang!

Helian Wei Wei flung open the wooden door in front of her.

Baili Jia Jue was removing the clasp of his shirt when he heard the commotion. He slowly raised his eyes, revealing an expression that was far from delightful. His unsympathetic gaze rested on Helian Wei Wei who stood at the door...
